Cornell Notes for Second Source

TITLE: Teenagers
AUTHOR: Colleen Thompson
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1992

Some teenagers get through that time period in their life very smoothly and completely fine, while others have a very hard time adjusting. Neither teenagers nor anyone should care about what other people think of them because it can also lead to a decrease in their self-confidence. All of these things can add up to why a teenager who run away.

“Teenagers are under a lot of pressure to succeed and fit in. Many spend a lot of time worrying about what others think that they desperately try to conform to society’s unattainable “ideal” body image.

Teenagers feel like if they cannot handle the pressures of life, then running away is the answer. With all of the pressures being thrown at them every day, they might just want to get away from it all; here is where running away would come into place.

“Being a teenager is not easy and there are many pressures that they face daily.”
